Analogue audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. In contrast, digital audio can also be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (i.e., the screen is almost square). Widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as its height).

Chapter

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters. See also Title.

CM SKIP

This unit can skip TV commercials during DVD Video playback. Once [CM SKIP] is pressed, the start point will be set forward 30 seconds and playback resume automatically. (You can press [CM SKIP] up to 6 times.)

CPRM

(Content Protection for Recordable Media)

CPRM is a scrambling copy protection system for the protection of “copy-once” broadcast programmes (e.g. some satellite broadcasts).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound using numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44 or 100 times a second for CD audio) by an analogue-todigital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to- analogue converter generates an analogue signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analogue audio.

Dolby Digital

A system developed by Dolby Laboratories that compresses digital sound. It works with stereo (2ch) or multi-channel audio.

Others

Glossary

DTS

(Digital Theater System)

DTS is a Multi-channel surround sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. Both formats were developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

Finalise

To make DVDs that have been recorded playable in DVD players. It is possible to finalise DVD-RW/-R discs with this unit.

JPEG

(Joint Photographic Experts

Group)

JPEG is a method of compressing still image files. You can copy JPEG files on CD-RW/-R discs from a computer and play back the files on this unit.

MP3

(MPEG Audio Layer 3)

MP3 is a method of compressing files. You can copy MP3 files on CD-RW/-R discs from a computer and play back the files on this unit.

PBC (Video CD only) (Playback Control)

This function enables you to play back interactive software using a menu screen. See also Title.

PCM

(Pulse Code Modulation)

PCM is a format that converts audio into digital data. It is mainly used for Audio CDs and DAT. This unit can play back sounds as realistic as possible by converting even compressed Dolby Digital and MPEG audio to PCM.

Playlist

From this list you can play back contents of a disc in your desired order or in sequence. It is also possible to directly search for a specific scene.

Region code

Regions associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play back discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured by a specified interval to turn it into digital audio data. The number of samples in one second is defined as the sampling frequency. The higher the rate is, the better the possible sound quality.

S-Video output

Video is output as the individual signals of colour(C) and luminance(Y), so a higher-quality picture will be displayed.

Title

(DVD)

A collection of chapters on a DVD. See also chapter.

(Video CD)

The contents of a Video CD. When playing back a Video CD with the PBC function, the Title menu will appear automatically.

Track

Audio CDs and Video CDs use tracks to divide the contents of a disc. The DVD equivalent is called a chapter. See also Chapter.
